Are you saying that we must ignore that RINO’s are just leftist democrat phoneys? We should elect them because they call themselves Republicans or because they do not call themselves Democrats?
Or are you saying that this particular candidate is not in fact a RINO?
I hate to admit it, but in these cases, the RINOs have us by the tail. Sure, these creeps will side with the Democrats on many occasions, but occasionally they stray to the right. The Democrats will ALWAYS toe the Party Line.
It's different in the primaries, as we have a distant chance, but too often, when the purist stance is taken, we get royally screwed.
I remember when McCain was up against J. D. Hayworth and I was having arguments with the purists then, backing Hayworth, warts and all, and getting jibed for it. My argument, somewhat tongue in cheek, was that Hayworth could be caught doing funny things with farms animals behind the barn and I would still vote for him, as the main thrust was to get rid of McCain. We could always throw Hayworth out in six years, but at least we had broken the chain. The purists backed McCain and look at what we got.
I see the same thing in Virginia with RINO Gillespie. We have redistricting coming up and we'd be better off with him than a Democrat, so why give them that opportunity by being chaste?
The time to take out RINOs is in the primaries. Never ever help elect a democrat. John McCain is the sole exception to this rule.
